Carthage man charged with rape, sodomy, child molestation

A Carthage man is being held without bond in Jasper County Detention Center charged with rape, sodomy and child molestation.

Charges were filed today in Jasper County Circuit Court against Cory Gene Stuckey, 50.

According to the probable cause statement, Stuckey assaulted the juvenile victim multiple times when he was “either high or intoxicated.”

From the probable cause statement:

I interviewed Stuckey on February 25, 2026, at the Carthage Police Department and he initially denied the allegations but after speaking with him more, he finally admitted to touching J1 on her vagina and rubbing her, but he stated he was highly intoxicated on tequila.

Stuckey denied having intercourse with J1, however stated if she said it happened then it happened.

The case was investigated by the Carthage Police Department.
